Hey BB, my health hasn't been the best and I've lost some of my old enthusiasm for the sport,the Pins deserve 100%, so I'd like you to find a new Pin but I'll continue until you find a replacement.

Very sorry to hear that, Hoss. the Pins won't be the same without you, but I'll regretfully ask for a replacement. Hope your health improves.

Sorry to hear that you've not been too good Hoss.  I hope that things pick up for the better soon.  Personally, if you feel you are able to continue I would be more than happy for you to remian a Pin even if you are not able to give us your full attention.  Your support and comments are always valued.
I can understand if you wish to pass the baton on, but if so please come and say hello.  I am sure that all of us will want to hear how you are getting on.

Thanks, bettysboy.

The rules seem straight-forward enough, so no problems there.

With regard to selecting, does the team have a strategy eg all selections should be double-figure odds, and are all selections discussed on here before they're posted on the competition thread?

GEORGE.B - we don't really have a strategy ( chickens of the headless kind are we)and don't feel you need to discuss your pick first - but you can if you wish. Your comments are always welcome and if you want to go into details as to why you do / don't fancy something then feel free. Pretty much anything goes. The chat on here can be slow sometimes... I work shift and can be missing for days.... but we are a friendly bunch.

book and the man are still to rejoin, but plenty time still, but you may still be needed Hoss so don't leave us too soon. Grin

gl, krl. Isn't that the horse which broke Tony Hamilton's pelvis?
Strange they were prepared to risk losing it in a claimer and now it turns up in a Class 2 handicap.
Mind it was heavily backed that evening, perhaps they were just looking to clean up on here Grin

Disappointing that there has been minimal rainfall at Donny, but I'll stick with Arctic Cosmos each-way in the Leger. Perhaps he was flattered by having sat off the pace, but I was taken with the way he finished.
Hopefully the blinkers won't set him alight in the early stages.

Good luck pins.

Thanks, guys. Nice to get to get something right for a change!

I napped him on the naps league the day he ran at Goodwood and was quite impressed with the way he seemed to take off in the last furlong (though not with third place!).

Hopefully it won't all be downhill with my selections from now on!
